What has to change regarding pain management....
Got this link via a fibromyalgia Facebook page. The medical community has to come around to the idea of chronic pain as a disease state:
"Chronic Pain Needs More Understanding, Better Treatment"
A great deal of quality of life could be preserved if pain was properly addressed BEFORE it becomes intractable and permanent neurological damage is done. For most people, a single medication isn't going to be a total solution. More aggressive treatment with a combination of Eastern and Western medicine would be a wiser approach.
